[Tutor] Help me with two dimensional arrays in Python

[Matthew White]

Asrarahmed,

How about something like this:

>>> arr = []
>>> arr.append(['Blue', 'Yellow', 'Green', 'Brown', 'White'])
>>> arr[0][0]
'Blue'
>>> arr.append(['Up', 'Down', 'Left', 'Right', 'Center'])
>>> arr[1][4]
'Center'

Is this what you were thinking of?
